Almighty Athlete Chapter 28: The finals start


  At 23 o'clock on August 22, Athens time, and at 4 o'clock in the morning on August 23, capital time, the men's 100 meters final of the Athens Olympics is about to start.

  The men’s 100-meter sprint final is the last game of today and the finale. Tens of thousands of spectators on the scene sat for hours, mostly to wait for this 100-meter trapeze battle, and more people stood by the TV set, waiting for the birth of a new 100-meter trapeze.

  At 11 p.m. Athens time in Southern Europe, it is a good time to watch TV in Western European countries from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., while on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, U.S. time happens to be the afternoon of the weekend. It is a kind of small food, waiting in front of the TV; only the far east, but it is already the most familiar time to sleep in the early morning, consider to work normally from the daytime, so even one set of programs and five sets of programs broadcast this game at the same time, Few people are willing to get up from the bed to watch.

   For this 100-meter final, Europeans are more busy watching, but Americans are long-awaited. The U.S. flying people have always monopolized the world record of 100 meters, and have won consecutive Olympic 100 meters championships. This time, all three U.S. players entered the finals, so the American audience believes that they have booked this Olympic gold medal. .

   Americans have always liked this sport of competition speed, and the appropriate broadcast time of the game, coupled with the US team’s players are enough to make the Americans give this Olympic men’s 100-meter sprint finals great attention, The ratings of the broadcaster's statistics have soared, and they have approached the Super Bowl.

   In a high-end villa area on the outskirts of Charlotte, North Carolina, 14-year-old Seth Curry walked into the living room from the courtyard, but saw his brother Stephen Curry sitting in front of the TV.

   "Brother didn't go to practice!" Seth Curry stepped forward with a puzzled face, but found that the Olympic men's 100m finals were being broadcast on TV. "

  The father of the Curry brothers was an NBA player, and he just retired two years ago. The Curry brothers also practiced basketball from an early age. But at present, it seems that the brothers haven't shown their outstanding basketball talent, even the 16-year-old Stephen Curry is already a very good three-point shooter. But in this age of muscle dominance, the thin body of the Curry brothers is clearly not favored by scouts.

   On the TV, the athlete was already on the starting line, and the commentator began to introduce the athlete.

  The first one was Barbados athlete Obdley Thompson. He is the weakest of the eight athletes. The shot was given to the next player for only a short five seconds. The second is the Ghanaian athlete Aziz-Ariza. The narrator did not introduce him more, and the footage also flashed.

  The athlete in the third lane wore a white vest, and the three large letters "USA" on the front were exceptionally conspicuous. He was exactly the American player Justin Gatlin. The replay clearly gave the American face and gave Justin Gatlin a close-up of his face for ten seconds.

  "This is Justin Gatlin. He is only 22 years old this year. He is the youngest of the three players of the US team. He has won the 2002 National Indoor 100m, 200m and Outdoor 200m Champion! And won the IAAF Golden League Zurich in 2003."

   TV came to understand the voice of the speaker, but the Curry brothers did not show too much excitement. At this time, Justin Gatlin was not well-known, and the Curry brothers were not familiar with him.

  The fourth track is another American player, Sean Crawford. The organizers of the Olympic Games put two American players together, obviously giving the American team great care.

   "Shawn Crawford, the champion of the 200 meters in the 2001 World Indoor Championships. At the age of 26, he is at the peak. We also look forward to his good results in the next 200 meters!"

   "The fifth course is the Portuguese player Francis Obikvilu, who was originally from Nigeria and later naturalized to Portugal. He is also the only athlete from the European country in the final!"

  The narrator introduced Obick Viru, and there was a loud cheer in the stadium. Obviously, as a European athlete, even if he was a naturalized player, he still got the most enthusiastic cry from the European audience.

   The broadcast screen gave Obic Viru enough shots before turning to the next athlete. When Seth Curry saw an athlete wearing a black vest, he complained disappointedly: "Why not Morris-Green!"

   "Don't worry, the next one is!" Stephen Curry said.

   "The sixth is the Asafa-Powell from Jamaica..." The narrator did not give too much introduction to the future world's first flying man, and the shot was quickly transferred to the next athlete , Because the next seventh is the defending champion Morris Green.

  The cheering of the audience was no less than that of Obik Viru, and the audience was very interested in defending the champion. The Curry brothers in front of the TV were also excited.

  Morris Green once won the World Championships double champion in 1999 and broke the world record for the men’s 100m at that time. He also won a gold medal in the Sydney Olympics and has been hailed as a hero in the American track and field world. . In the United States, Morris Green's popularity is not inferior to the top stars of the four major leagues.

   "Stephen, I guess Morris Green will definitely win the championship." Seth Curry said.

  Stephen Curry nodded, apparently agreeing with his brother's idea.

   The broadcast screen has been staring at Morris Green, and the narrator has also introduced Morris Green to the endlessly. After more than half of the group, he moved to the left reluctantly and gave the eighth. Road athlete.

   "Yellow man!" Stephen Curry in front of the TV suddenly widened his eyes, black people have been dominating the 100-meter sprint for more than a decade, and the top seven players in the shot are also more than Curry's skin color For black people who want to be black, the sudden appearance of other skin tones makes Curry feel a bit violent.

   "How is this possible? A yellow man, how did he get into the Olympic 100m finals?" Seth Curry was also surprised. He has been training basketball since he was a child, and his training partners are mostly black, and there are many Hispanic races, and there are relatively few white races. As for the yellow races in the school, they are not good at sports, but rather participate in Some study groups are more interested.

  The voice of the narrator also came at this time: "On the eighth line is the 18-year-old Guan-Zhang from China. He is the current Asian men's 100m record holder."

   "This stupid narrator. According to the Chinese name, he should be called Zhang Guan. The Chinese are surname first, and the name last." Stephen Curry said.

   "Stephen, this Chinese is only two years older than you." Seth Curry said.

   Stephen Curry showed a very unwilling expression on his face, and he understood the meaning of Seth Curry. The Chinese, who is only two years older than himself, has stood on the stage of the Olympic 100m finals, competing with world-class strong players such as Morris Green, while Stephen Curry is still playing for the school team. worry.

   Among the players of the same age as Stephen Curry, Derrick Rose has been the target of media attention; Russell Westbrook has also made a name for himself; Kevin Durant of Oak Hill High School hopes to enter This year’s best lineup of high school students in the United States; California’s twins, the Lopez brothers, were given the opportunity of Adi’s training camp, and Kevin Love was hailed as the best high school student at the time; as for Greg Oden, nobody Will compare that monster with high school students. But when it comes to Stephen Curry, the only thing you can think of is the son of Dell Curry.

  Think about what the coach gave him. Stephen Curry shook his head in disappointment. Compared with his peers, his body did not have any advantages. He was too thin, if not the coach of the school team Knowing his dad, he may not even have the chance to play.

   "Hey, maybe I am not suitable for playing basketball at all!" Stephen Curry smiled self-deprecatingly, and then looked at the TV in front of him again.

  ......

   "Hello everyone, everyone. Now the live broadcast is the men's 100m finals of the 28th Olympic Games. It is worth mentioning that the Chinese player Zhang Guan entered the men's 100m finals unprecedented This is an unprecedented major breakthrough in China's sports career. However, in the Olympic 100m finals, there are strong players. It is still very difficult for Zhang Guan to win a medal. In fact, Zhang Guan can enter the final and has created History, so here, we also wish Zhang Guan good results."

  The tone of the narrator seems calm. After all, it is more than four in the morning in China. This narrator has also worked continuously for more than 20 hours. If you are not tired, it is a fake. But as a professional commentator, he still strives to cheer up the spirit, not letting the audience hear his own fatigue.

  However, although it was late at night in Athens, the audience was as excited as ever. This will be the last contest in the track and field competition today, and the most exciting contest in the entire track and field event.

  Eight athletes stood on the starting blocks. They looked dignified, waiting for the sound of the starting gun.

  The Jamaican trapeze Powell on the sixth track is very nervous. Although Powell is also a very experienced athlete~IndoMTL.com~, he will still feel nervous in the Olympic finals.

   Two Americans, Gatlin and Crawford, started running side by side, but there was no verbal communication between the two. They both knew that they were the biggest competitors, so they simply kept silent.

   The defending champion Morris Green was slightly dignified. He could feel that his physical strength had not yet fully recovered to his peak. The semi-finals consumed too much energy. I am afraid his current physical level is very good. Difficult to run within 9.8 seconds. But he still has to hit the championship.

   As for Zhang Guan in full condition, of course, this time is full of confidence. He even can’t wait to start the game as soon as possible.

   "Onyourmarks......"

  At this time, the starter finally gave the prepared instructions.
